Alex Rodriguez and the Biogenesis Report

It should be clear to everyone that Alex Rodriguez should not be allowed back on a MLB field for the rest of his life. He has denied PED and HGH use twice, while lying about the first time. He told the media it was "before he got good." He admitted to taking steroids during a three year period, while being supplied by Anthony Bosch, a miami clinic runner who has supplied drugs to around 20 other players in the MLB; most notable, Ryan Braun. Arod lied twice about taking steroids, and now he is caught. He should not be part of the 500 Home Run Club, or the 600 Home Run Club, and should not be considered one of the greatest Yankees of all time
You know, before the whole scandal on steroids, I considered Arod one of the greatest Yankees of all time. I was pumped when he hit his 500th home run. But, when he hit his 600th, I wasn't that excited because I knew he was a cheater. 

I love what MLB has done with the Biogenesis report. They are seriously cracking down on steroids here, and this should change baseball for the future. By going after the players, they are able to give them appropriate consequences to them, which should stop them from doing it again. In Arod's case, lying about steroids twice is a definite no no. Bud Selig should keep doing what he's doing. TAKE AROD OUT OF BASEBALL. No one even likes him anyway. Why? Because he's a cheater. Bud Selig, if you want people to watch baseball, and to come to your games, and pay money for merchandise and tickets, you need to find all of the steroid users in baseball, and give them the appropriate consequences. I propose a three strikes and your out kind of deal

First offense- 100 game suspension

Second offense- Full season suspension and stripping of all major awards won in the MLB, such as MVP, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and the Triple Crown for both Batting and Pitching. 

Third Offense- Life ban from the MLB.

Yes, I know this is harsh, but is the only way to stop the illegal use of steroids in the MLB. Take Manny Ramirez for example. He was suspended 50 games for illegal use of steroids. Then 100 for a second offense, because he knew the punishments weren't hard enough. Arod needs his three MVP's taken away, and Braun needs his one MVP taken away. That's why my proposed consequence program is perfect. You mess up 3 times, your out. Just like in the game.
